It was nice to see some old friends back in the water again. I hadn't seen Ron or Kelly on the beach this year. They sure picked a good day to show up. The water was clear and calm and warm enough for a long swim.

Afterwards we surrendered to the pleadings of Showgirl, who forced us to go to the Biergarten. As it turned out it was a great choice. We're accustomed to spectacular sunrises on the lake, but last night we saw a spectacular sunset over the river, accompanied by genuine German oompah band complete with leiderhosen. Eins zwei drei g'suffa!
